I had never worked with temp agencies before but Nikkie and her crew helped walk me through the process. I never felt like I had to jump through any hoops and they were quick to try to find me employment.

Within six weeks of our initial meeting, started full time with a company matched to me from Staff Connections. They put an emphasis on finding jobs that are perfect for your skillset and personality. I could not be happier with the results. They even gave me advice on polishing up and tweaking my resume.

This is a two part review…read more Entry level- I worked with Melissa Oller who was fantastic. She had excellent communication skills and guided me through the job hunting process as an entry level candidate. I was then switched over to another agent who linked me to an assignment that I was eventually hired through. Pros- I had the opportunity to work in different work environments. Cons- You may be low balled on pay. Or in my case miscommunication on pay agreements between the agency and organizations. This resulted in unsatisfactory pay wages. To make the situation better it happened on more than one assignment. Going into an agency you need to know what you're asking for because you can be swayed to work in jobs that may not be what you envisioned. So do some studying before hand. Mid Level Career Change- With a few years of experience in administrative and accounting work, I wanted to shift to more creative role. After contacting the office they advised I came to a mixer with recruiters to help with the job search. However, he failed to tell me that there would not be agents who could assist me with my request and found out as soon as I checked in. The front desk assured me that Randee Schlosser would be ready to assist in connecting me to the right people. After meeting with her I handed over my resume and she said stated it would be sent to her connections who were in charge of creative roles. Though her words seemed assuring, I wanted to send over a digital copy of my resume to make the process easier. That was the last time I heard from Randee. She never replied to my emails or voicemails. This agency needs to improve their communication skills and professionalism. I would not recommend them unless you're willing to explain what you need word for word and follow with them everyday (numerous times a day).

BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you end up using Michelle, it will ruin all other agencies for you…read more I am a professional career nanny. I have over seven years of nannying experience, five years of teaching experience, and more. I have a B/S in childhood development as well as my MAT. When I began my search for a nanny-family in LA, I did my due diligence by shopping around looking at multiple agencies. I found that Michelle had the TOP RATED AGENCY ON MULTIPLE SITES and wanted to take a closer look. I read through every. single. review. I thought to myself, "Really? Every single person had a positive experience with this agency? That's just not statistically possible if she's really working with this many people..." I decided to set up a meeting. I drove to her office where we met to discuss particulars (what I'm looking for, what families are in the market for a nanny right now, what ages/salary/commute/hours I'm looking for) and the moment she opened the door and greeted me with a giant smile and her upbeat, positive attitude, I felt like just working with HER was my perfect placement! Once we started the process, Michelle was completely professional while also refreshingly honest and realistic in her suggestions. She really took the time to get to know me and what I was looking for and she only suggested me to families that she knew had the potential to be a "love match!" After looking at a few potential matches, Michelle called me to tell me that she had "found my family!" She said, "This is the one. Please go for an interview and see for yourself." So I did. This is the part of the review where I'm going to get annoyingly emotional. Not only did the family and I immediately "click," but Michelle had made sure that all of our stats were in alignment. The age range, schedule, amount of hours, commuting time, pay rate, expectations and needs happened to all align with what I was looking for. It was LITERALLY the PERFECT PLACEMENT!!!! Coincidence? I think not. Michelle is highly intelligent, professional, personable, understanding, diligent, experienced, communicative, and pleasantly charismatic and I owe my job satisfaction directly to her. Now that I think about it, maybe I should send over a bottle of wine. Thank you, Michelle, for just being so incredibly good at what you do. As I mentioned earlier, when I started this process, I read through every one of your (5 star) reviews and thought, "There's just no way every single review can be five stars..." and now here I am adding one more.

I met Michelle at a time when I was at a low point in my nanny career and personal life. I had…read morebeen looking for top nanny position and had been on many interviews through other agencies. It seemed like I had landed a few dream jobs only for it to slip away from me. Really trying times. Then I met Michelle! This brings a smile to my face. Meeting with her felt like chatting with a friend. I realized after that this is her skill. She loves people and wants to represent both the families and the nannies. It was a slow period and she didn't have any job opportunities at the time when I signed up with her agency, the perfect placement. After being on the hunt for my top nanny job with a kind family for many months and it wasn't happening I was getting ready to move out of state. I mentioned to Michelle that I'm no longer looking for a position as it doesn't seem like it's going to happen. Michelle didn't give up on me. She called me with 2 opportunities. I went on both interviews and was called back to do a trial for the one that I wanted !! Yay !! Then Michelle negotiated some time off that I needed to take care of a health issue. The family was so wonderful they waited for me ! All I can say everything lined up perfectly. Michelle will always return your call in a timely manner and she always checks in to see how you're doing. I thank God I met Michelle !
